Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Illinois

last summer 2009 i was shot in the chest and was in the hospital for 2 weeks with chest tubes. i was then released,quickly i started feeling really bad i had high fevers, coughing, and other symptoms. i scheduled an early check up because i couldn't take it anymore and after the check up the doctor told me i was fine and would get better. about 3 days later i only felt a lot worse so i went back to the doctor and this time by a different doctor i found out something actually was wrong with me i had pneumonia and an infection in my chest. do i have a case or anything?

If the standard of care was not met and you have substantial damages an attorney might be interested in representing you.
